[gracefromHHP]

no  need for more herpes testing since it was 3 months post encounter.

reference range

negative = { 0.9
borderline =  0.9 - 1.1
positive = } 1.1

Hye grace,

my doctor recommend me to test for herpes 2, i just get my result.. this 101 days from protected encounter


my result.

=================

VIRAL ANTIBODIES

  Herpes simplex type 2     =   IgG   0.0

Reference range

   Negative                         =   1.1         Index

The result was negative, indicative of the absence of IgG antibodies to Herpes simplex type 2.

===========

So, how to treat herpes or hpv?

[gracefromHHP]

there are false positive issues with herpes testing but for most people, they are accurate.  

no, antibiotics don't work for herpes or hpv. they are viruses, not bacterial infections.

No test for HVP in men

Actually im married man. Im doing this stupid mistake. I heard herpes test can give false positive  So i need to test for hpv ? arr they treatable with antibiotic?

[gracefromHHP]

protected sex is a risk for hpv, syphilis and herpes. your syphilis testing at 6 weeks post encounter is fine. we don't have commercially available tests for hpv to cover that base. herpes igg blood testing can be done at 3 months post encounter.

we don't automatically recommend testing from protected sex just because it's a paid sex worker unless you have a partner at home you need to protect. just something to keep in mind :)

Ok, i will do full std test, and then i will come back here again.. merry xmas.

[igp]

i mean do i need to test for herpes, gonnorea, etc... :)

[Vance2335]

If you want a full std test what test should you do? STD tests. Again condoms work, no need to test.

[igp]

Thanks vance

I forgot to say my test negative for both.. If i want to full std test what type of std should i test? Because i have patner.. Are they treatable?

[Vance2335]

Condoms work, no need to test
